Selena Gomez Starting to Chain Smoke Cigarettes, Alarming Friends

Selena Gomez first tried smoking during filming of the movie Spring Breakers (pictured here). It has since become a regular habit.

Selena Gomez has picked up more than one nasty habit since she began dating Justin Bieber. She’s become a habitual cigarette smoker, alarming some of her friends, who fear she’s becoming a chain-smoker like Lindsay Lohan.

Selena, who turned 22 last month with a wild party in Saint Tropez, was once a goodie-two-shoes who wouldn’t think of smoking cigarettes.

She said she was excited to give it a try on set, but ended up not liking it, she added. But, in fact, she was on her way to becoming hooked.

Whether it was the pressures from her on-again, off-again relationship with Bieber or just her desire to present a more mature image and fit in socially with a fast group of Hollywood friends, Gomez became a smoker.

Justin, meanwhile, insists he doesn’t smoke. In an Instagram photo published in March, he imitated one of actor James Dean’s classic poses with a cigarette dangling from his lip.

A widely circulated photo showed them together. But Selena’s reps told TMZ that she and Orlando were merely taking a smoking break last March at We Day in Oakland. They just happened to be next to each other.

But that’s not the only reason her smoking habit is troubling. Her friends used the occasion to reveal that Selena is starting to smoke like a chimney.

They fear she’s developing into a chain-smoker and could be putting her health at risk. Whether it’s the pressures of dating Bieber or everything else she’s been through with her career, heavy smoking is never a good thing.
